MC and commentary Comments by Ryota Murata
“Prime Video Presents Live Boxing 7” has wonderful cards like triple world matches. This will be the first defense of Takuma Inoue who aims to become one of the four bantamweight divisions in the world following his older brother Naoya Inoue. I’m worried about his condition after the injury, but I’m sure he’ll make good adjustments. Additionally, Junto Nakatani will fight for the world title in his first bantamweight bout, and I can’t wait to see what kind of fighting he displays in his new weight class, as well as his improved form. Tsunenari Tanaka, who will appear for the first time on “Prime Video Presents Live Boxing,” aims to become the third Japanese man to win a world title in four weight classes. Furthermore, in the opening match, Teiken Gym’s newest player, Riku Masuda, will face the biggest challenge to enter the world rankings. I look forward to “Prime Video Presents Live Boxing 7”.
